For 30 years, Bryan/College Station area residents have had the opportunity to drop off household hazardous waste items.

The bi-annual event, sponsored by the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency (BVSWMA), returns this Saturday (October 19) from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Texas A&M University Services building east of Veterans Park. Use the entrance off of Harvey Road.

The event is free for all residents of the Brazos Valley. No business generated waste will be accepted.

For the first time, the event will not be collecting medications and needles.

The list of what will be collected includes motor oil, oil filters, gasoline, household cleaning agents, paint and paint thinners, lawn chemicals and fertilizers, and electronic waste such as rechargeable and single-use batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, old computers, monitors, laptops and cell phones.

Representatives of United Way of the Brazos Valley will also be collecting new and used children’s books, blankets, and monetary donations, for their Books and a Blanket program.
